Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of cutting a web during its continuous movement and to an apparatus for carrying out the method.
  • the term "cut" in this connection is to be understood so that the web is cut off entirely or is only more or less provided with perforations, a so-called intermittent cutting.
  • a web e.g. a paper web, plastic web or a web of other material
  • a web is to be cut while moving continuously, in order a.o. to obtain a high running speed of the web, for example when a completely wound roll of the web is exchanged against a new bobbin.
  • the cutting usually was carried out perpendicularly to the running web by a.o. knocking-off or burning-off the web by means of a heated string, in which cases the web is cut off entirely. It is then very difficult to catch the free web end running ahead, and very accurate procedures in the device for exchanging the rolls are required.
  • Another usual method is to cut through the running web with a knife, either completely from one edge to the other or by leaving the edges uncut.
  • difficulties arise in catching the web end, as indicated above.
  • the web edge is unbroken, it is difficult to separate the web at the edges holding together.
  • the web is caught to a new roll just at one of the edges and, therefore, also this method provides difficulties.
  • the present invention has the object of rendering possible cutting by a fully automatic cutting operation entirely controlled and driven by the movement of the web, in such a manner, that the web can be cut off directly or be perforated or cut intermittently. Due to the cutting being carried out in a direction oblique to the longitudinal direction of the web, the web can safely and simply be caught onto e.g. a new bobbin at the web edge running ahead as a leading point.
  • the intermittent cutting also eliminates the problem of leading the free end of the web to the new bobbin, and it provides the possibility to position the cutting apparatus according to the invention optionally within the web handling machine and at the same time to utilize the cutting apparatus as a transmitter ensuring the automatic roll exchange to start at the right moment.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the cutting apparatus seen in a plane in parallel with the axle of the roll
  • FIG. 2 shows the cutting apparatus according to FIG. 1 seen in a plane perpendicular to the axle of the roll
  • FIG. 3 shows a different design of the cutting apparatus seen in a view corresponding to FIG. 1.
  • the cutting apparatus comprises a roll 1, which is freely rotatably mounted in a machine frame (not shown), and on which the web 2 to be cut runs. Along the roll 1 extends a cradle 3 carrying a circular cutter 4 and a return wheel 5.
  • the cradle 3 consists of a pair of guides 6 in the form of round rods extending in parallel with each other and the axle of the roll 1.
  • the guides 6 have a length exceeding that of the roll 1 and are rigidly interconnected at their respective ends by means of a pair of yokes 7.
  • the yokes in their turn are pivotally mounted in the machine frame (not shown) by means of journals 8.
  • the centre of rotation for the yokes 7 in FIG. 2 is designated by 8'.
  • a slide 9 guided along the guides 6 carries said circular cutter 4 and return wheel 5.
  • the cutter and wheel, respectively, are supported freely rotatably about an axle 4' and 5', respectively, which in their turn are arranged at forks 10 and 11, respectively, which are adjustably rotatably located in the slide 9.
  • the circular cutter 4 When the position of the slide 9 shown in FIG. 1 is regarded as its starting position, the circular cutter 4 by its oblique position and contact against the roll 1 and web 2 will travel along the roll due to the freely movable slide 9 and cut the web 2 obliquely to the longitudinal direction of the web. Depending on whether the circular cutter 4 is provided with a continuous cutting edge or a toothed one, it is possible to cut off the web 2 or only to cut it intermittently.
  • the slide 9 then stops.
  • the return wheel 5, as shown in FIG. 1 is supported on the slide 9 slightly axially offset (to the left), and therefore, after the stopping of the slide 9, the wheel 5 remains above the roll 1.
  • the wheel due to its oblique position travels along the roll in the opposed direction and takes the slide 9 along.
  • the return wheel finally ends up outside of the roll as shown in FIG. 1, and the slide 9 stops with the circular cutter located over the roll 1 and ready to be pressed against the same at the next cutting operation.
  • the slide 9 with the circular cutter 4 and wheel 5 is driven only by the friction between the roll 1 or web and the cutter 4 and wheel 5, respectively.
  • the wheel may preferably be provided along its circumference with a friction-increasing material.
  • the axles 12 and 13, about which the cutter 4 and wheel 5, respectively, can be placed obliquely, must extend through the axis of rotation of the roll 1.
  • This slanting angle as stated above is adjustable. It was found that at web speeds of up to about 150 m/min a slanting angle of 45° of the cutter 4 can be used.
  • FIG. 3 a different embodiment of the invention is shown, at which the yokes 7 with the guides 6 are rigidly attached to the machine frame (not shown).
  • a slide running freely movably along the guides 6 consists of two portions 15 guided by the guides and a third portion 17 pivotal between the same about an axle 16.
  • the axle 16 extends perpendicularly to the axle of the roll 1. Due to the cutter 4 and return wheel 5 lying axially in relation to the axle of the roll 1 instead of substantially radially offset as at the aforedescribed embodiment, the same result is achieved as at said embodiment when the portion 17 is pivoted in one direction or the other.
  • the pivotal movement of the yokes 7 and slide portion 17, respectively, can take place either manually or fully automatically, for example controlled by the material web (not shown) wound to a roll.
  • the pivoting positions can preferably be locked.
  • the cutting and, respectively, return operation can be interrupted at any time during the movement of the slide 9, 15, 17 along the roll 1.
